Directions:

Cut 4-5 slits across each salmon fillet. Stuff them with garlic and green onions. Spread cream cheese across top, cover with spinach and mushrooms, and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Arrange in a shallow baking dish. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
